It rained this morning and brought on melancholy memories.

Truth or Dare
Yes, I am one of those peeps who went out and bought Madonna's Truth or Dare Eau de Parfum. She is legendary in my eyes (if I can even use that word yet), and even though I'm not really a fan of her current music style, I still listen to everything else. The scent of... Continue Reading →
A Little Artist
I bought a table easel (for half price at Jo-Ann's) so Kylie can paint on the days she doesn't have preschool. When I brought the easel home and explained to her what it was, she got excited and wanted to paint right away. She painted five abstract pieces. I know they might look like messy...

Mom’s Birthday & Photo Restoration
We celebrated Mom's birthday. I made a card (above) for her and used an old photo from her childhood and one from around 2005/07 with her wearing a moderned Hmong outfit. The inside was written with very simple words and then husband and I and the kids signed it. Before everyone arrived, it was just... Continue Reading →
One Perfect Sunrise

The last sunrise photos taken was last September when my family and I went to Maroon Bells. Guess this means it's... Continue Reading →

The Cave Tour We Finally Took
[Glenwood Springs from up high : Taken by husband] I've been to Glenwood Springs many times but have never gone to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. I'm not sure why it never crossed my mind to go there. The family finally went there a couple of days ago and it was a lot of fun. ... Continue Reading →
Snow Day & Last Weekend Photos
This morning, the bushes were iced. It's always so strange how one day it's nice and warm and the next day it's like the middle of winter. Last Weekend Photos Mom washing scallions she picked from her garden for me. I'm still not sure what to use them for. Maybe I'll mash them with some... Continue Reading →
